[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattRussNC:
For me voodoo was the single greatest change to my facinate. The speed difference in nearly all task was noticeable and in some cases its inexcusable that its not standard. One simple everyday task that really highlighted the difference for me is loading pictures using the just pictures app. Without voodoo it took nearly a min to cache a folder and nearly another min to load thumbnails. With voodoo it does the same folder from open to all loaded in about 3 to 5 secs.

While I know this might not be the greatest place to put this here, and I'm not trying to start any flame wars, but I figured because this topic implies the bettering of our phones, I thought I should put this here.

With the recent Google affair about not releasing the source code on Honeycomb, how open can we expect Android to be? Technically speaking, the only open thing about Android is the app store, and even that has seen better days.

While some people think that Google is doing this just because they feel like it, I honestly believe that they rushed somewhere and need to patch the hole before more malware-like apps enter the app store and wreak havoc on Honeycomb.

So I leave the question here, what do you guys think about this whole ordeal, and has this effected your views on Google in anyway?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brilldoctor:
They will release it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] liorweitz:
They have to release it, it is open source.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] foxmeister:
No they don't if they dont want to!

Go and read up on the Apache Software Licence, which Android is licensed under.

That being said, I fully expect Google to release the source code when they are good and ready.

Regards,

Dave
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Protocol 7:
I also believe that they abuse the term open, anyway.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
Openness means, among others, that you can grab sources, close them and release only binaries. Otherwise it would be copyleft, not true openness.

I have a Motorola Milestone on the Alaskan Matanuska Telephone Association network. I managed to lose my APN settings after flashing from Android 2.1 to 2.2 and am now stuck with the Verizon APN. I've since updated to Cyanogen Mod 7, but still stuck with same Verizon APN. I've called tech support half a dozen times, and through 3 "tiers" of support, none of them have been able to help me out. Does anybody know the MTA-Telco APN settings?

it sounds like a recovery issue. are you using 3.0.0.5 or 3.0.0.6. check this thread out if you're on 3.0.0.5, it will get ya on 3.0.0.6 which will allow you both FroYo and Gingerbread ROMs.

[Adam General] stewarta:
Screen capture is made easy by:

1. Downloading and installing the SDK onto your PC from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

2. Modifying the \android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb-driver\android_winusb.inf to include the Tegra device as follows under the headings shown (the second one for Win7 x64 users) leaving all other devices in place:

[Google.NTx86]

; NVIDIA Tegra

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01

;

etc

[Google.NTamd64]

;NVIDIA Tegra

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01

;

etc

3. Downloading and installing QtADB (particularly useful for Noobs, instead of running \android-sdk\tools\ddms.bat) from http://qtadb.wordpress.com/about/

4. OPTIONAL STEP: If you are going to run ADB put the location in your PATH on Windows ... right click on Computer >> Properties >> Advanced System setting >> Environment Variables >> under System Variables add adb and the path.

5. This step is a MUST and stops most installations .... use Windows Explorer and locate the following file and DELETE it. You MUST replace it by opening a COMMAND window (Windows START as administrator) and typing at the prompt:

echo 0x955 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini" (leave it exactly as this).

If you want to see that this has taken place, search out adb_usb.ini which will be under users\yourname\.android\

6. This step is a MUST and stymies most attempts to get the NI Adam hooked up to ADB or QtADB ... Open device manager on your PC and now CONNECT the PC and NI Adam via USB cable. On mine, perhaps because I also connect a Nexus One, under Android Phone, it shows Android Composite ADB Interface. Right-click on this and UPDATE the DRIVER to the \android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb-driver\ ...i.e., the same folder where you modified the inf file earlier.

7. Now run QtADB and your NI Adam will appear. You can screen capture (not rooted) or gather info like I've shown (rooted).

Enjoy!

i just got atrix .I am coming from nexus one so i backed it up everything with titanium. Switch sd card to atrix and titanium hasnt found any back up files. checked with astro and titanium folder on sdcard is empty. i switched sdcard back to nexus and all files are there. i noticed even more files in different folders are not showing in atrix.

can anyone give me head up what's all about? ideas? thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
in titanium backup you need to change the location of the backups to /mnt/sdcard-ext/titaniumbackup

by default it points to the onboard storage /mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup or the symlink /sdcard/titaniumbackup

You need to redirect towards the external sd card.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dpakrr:
@cowballz69 - please do try it and let me know how you go.

@Anon87 - download the apks and put them on your sd card. use a file manager/explorer like root explorer on your nook to navigate to the directory on the sd card with the apk in it. make sure you choose 'mount as r/w' in root explorer. then choose the apk to install it. if it doesn't install, go to settings->applications to make sure that you can install applications from 'unknown sources'.

@jinp6301 - glad you liked it!

This is for my GF's myTouch 4G ( :D )

I currently have the CM7 02-04-2011 nightly on her phone, but she's been experiencing some random reboots lately, so we're looking to wipe and re-flash.

Which version would you recommend? Does the current nightly (31) have any new features that she might miss out on, or new bugs?

Stability is more important for her, unless there are some new amazing features (or somehow the nightly is more stable).

I've been flashinf cm7 since alpha builds and have only had 2 re-boots.

Recent build is running very well. I'd flash the nightly and do a full wipe... flashboot -w if you are still having problems after a fresh install.

Very stable rom imo.

When I first loaded the newest Nightly build, (the 31st?), idk but it was released on the 26th of March, phone kept auto locking every 10 seconds or so. I rebooted once and it has been super stable ever since. Its only been a couple days but I have not run into any bugs. Although, for the MT4G I had go into the settings and enable "wake phone with roller button". I'm fairly new to all this stuff so I am still trying to figure out what my voicemail number is so I can manually put that in. Otherwise this baby is running smooth and I am very happy.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bdwlf2:
Ok... I have been a member for awhile, reading this and that...

I have been using WM based phones ever since i could remember (minus a small sidekick phase). So, when I found out that WM7 wasnt avail for my HD2... I was quite upset.

I decided to take the plunge and try Android for my SD card. W O W!!!!

Very fast, & functionable. I have stayed away for installing roms and such because of their instability. But this is absolutely beautiful.

Now i haven't updated to the new release that came out this morning, and was wondering if i should because i have been having some small issues.

1. When running WM6.5 since the install, i have had a problem with messages updating on main screen, don't know if it is related or not.

2. This was a fresh install of WM6.5 along with an SD card format. I am not allowed to store any info on card anymore. It's a 16g card, and I don't like to waste space. I no longer have a place for my tunes..... not cool. Not to mention can't store pics, and all the movies I burned via DVDFab. :eek:

3. Now I have read that there is a way to 'partition' my SD card, but there are so many ways to do this. I would like to do this with the best way/program so i dont fry my card. Link to the most stable way of doing this would be appreciated.

4. Now as impressed with AmeriCanAndriod as I am.. I have a question about the lockscreen... It is

NOT

about it's size/fullscreen as i have read on here... But when i walk away and it appearantly locks itself, it goes BLACK. the buttons on the device still light up, but screen will not activate and i have to end up pulling the battery. I have read that this is not advisable since shutting down is where the OS saves it's data to the SD card itself.

Yes, I am as green as it comes to this, but I am not a complete fool. I do try and look up issues pertaining to my problems. I can strip a PC down and rebuild it again in minutes, but phones are new to my tinkering. I love my HD2, and love all the things I have read I can do with it.

I understand that the forced close issue has been rectified in the build released this morning. Can this be confirmed????

Also will I be able to save the data.img and restore my apps and settings i have installed if I want to update to the new release?

Partitioning the SD... Will it cause me to reformat card and have to re-install Andoid on phone?

LASTLY..... Thank You to the AmeriCanAndroid Tean for making a beautiful OS that can easily be installed. Having a dual boot system is perfect for me. All the power and funtionabilty of WM & all the fun of Android. You couldn't ask for more. All the talent in this OS truly shows in this streamless, beautiful, user friendly system.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SkippyDogg:
First off, this is not the place where to post. You should post in the builds own thread located here. Second i know that black screen happens to me as well but what i do is leave it for about 3 min on standby and its cleared up by then. Make sure to have the latest build from the thread mentioned above. And yes you will be able to keep the same data.img from the previous release unless specified. Partition yes you will format but simply drag and your Android folder to your desktop and once you're done drag it back in simple.:cool:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bdwlf2:
Thank You for the reply. I was going to post in the AmeriCanAndroid thread, but since this is my first post. I had a popup tell me I had to post HERE, instead of that thread until I reach 10 posts.

If a Moderator wishes to move this, I have no problems with that. I wanted to post where it was most relevant in the first place. I just want to be able to reply without the 'newbe' restrictions.

Relieved that I can save my things, by saving the data.img file.

Partitioning, would love a link to the best/safest method.

Blackscreen.. So I just hit a button and leave it for awhile? That's not very practical if I had a buisness call to make, or an emergency. Is there a workaround? Can I shut off the Auto Lock?

What folder do I add music, ringtones, movies and other goodies to? Can WM 7 Android share these same files? (as long as they're not OS specific obviously)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SkippyDogg:
Ah, i see your reasoning, no problem. A good guide on partitioning that i used as well can be found here. And well there inst really a fix to the black screen problem and i haven't searched for one since it only happens on boot of Android. What seems to make it come back faster for me is locking and unlocking the phone quickly. And you can just place a folder and name it anything you want on the root of the SD card. Heck you can put all your mp3,photos,documents on the root of the SD card and Android will still pick them up, it doesn't matter. And when you say "Share" do you mean Bluetooth sending? Then yes, you can.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bdwlf2:
Nope... SD card will not let me install anything while i was hook to puter. I was running WM at the time, not android. That shouldn't have been a problem. I am about to hook SD card directly to copmuter itself and copy files that way.

I have had all music located on card before this install, nicely organized by artist or genre, along with my movies, pics, etc. But wont allow me to do this now. I am little confused about that, unless android locked SD/root to android application only. Since most programs that lock things usually prompt you for user allowances, which i did not see, i am ruling that out as an option. Phones and computers are very similar as i am finding out.

The blackscreen doesn't occur on Droid boot... It happens when it sleeps, hibernates, or whatever you call it. Can not wake it from this state.

The Data.img.... Do i put that in after i update and run android, or do i put it in the very begining when i copy droid folder to SD card?

Thanx

~Bdwlf2~
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bdwlf2:
Yup, android put a 'write protect' on SD card. Trying some format tools now. Had to put a re-partiton on it to get rid of protection, which made it a Bad Disk. So trying a recovery on it now. I refuse to be beatin by an object smaller than my thumbnail. Arrrgh!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SkippyDogg:
Android does not lock the SD card to application only, that's very odd that you cant copy files to the SD card. Maybe its a setting on your computer that wont allow you? And about the black screen problem, there seems to be no one reporting about that on the thread as far i can see. Are you running SetCPU or a Task Killer by any chance? Those make Android behave very odd. If not i would suggest downloading the latest build again and formatting your SD Card and putting Android on it again. You can also move your stuff your desktop and put it back again. About the Data.img, you don't really need to move it anywhere. When there is a new update to the build, i simply extract the contents of the new build to the Android folder on my SD card and over write. Simplest method I've seen yet.:cool:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SkippyDogg:
That seems very odd. I've been using this build since February 24th and it has never locked up like that. But nonetheless you found a fix, good work.:cool:
